I see, sit down, want you in? You'll have something
for me?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Yes, indeed, I located your boy Larry Stratton. Yep, Stratton's
in New York, all right, gotty last week from Washington.
First thing he did was to get himself a room
under the name of Leonard Simon's funny how they always
keep the same initials. And where does my friend mister
Stratton leave fourteen twenty three Carol plays it's a small
(03:20):
rooming house. I pumped the superintendent, but he couldn't tell
me much. And incidentally, that little talk costs me an
extra fifty I.

Got no complaints, mister Russell. You're do fine. Fifty dollars
you say.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
That's right.

Shut the door now, I lock it now.

Speaker 8 (07:23):
In that that medicine chest over the basin. There's a
there's a roll of adhesive table to get it for me?

Yes, is this what you want?
Speaker 5 (07:34):
No? There's there should be a roll of half inch tape.

There are numbers written on this?
Speaker 5 (07:56):
And I didn't tell him?
Speaker 10 (07:58):
You didn't tell him more.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
I was afraid they beat it out of me, But they.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Didn't, Darling.
Speaker 10 (08:02):
What is this all about?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
They don't ask me any questions.
Speaker 10 (08:04):
Ane, someone tried to kill you.
Speaker 8 (08:06):
You don't have to worry. Giuliana wouldn't dare w Well,
he hasn't got this.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Juliana sees that.
Speaker 10 (08:10):
Juliana, who is he? Larry? What does he wanted.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Please please don't ask me.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
Don't ask me. I shouldn't have even told you that
I'm in trouble, Eve, I'm in real trouble.
Speaker 10 (08:19):
Why didn't you go to the police?
Speaker 5 (08:21):
I can't, But why not? I can't tell you?
Speaker 10 (08:24):
Well, then hire a private detective?
Speaker 5 (08:28):
What good would that do, Darling?
Speaker 10 (08:29):
Obviously you need protection.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
I can take care of myself.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Larry, you've got to He wouldn't have to be told anything.
I could make up some sort of story.
Speaker 10 (08:39):
There's a man named Mike Wearing.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
I've heard about him, the one they call a folk.
Speaker 10 (08:43):
Yes, he's supposed to be very competent.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
And not being fair to me. If this Wearing doesn't
know what he's up against, he's liable to get himself.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Killed, Darling, believe me, it's the only way. I'm sure
nothing will happen to mister Wearing. And if he does well, well,
he's paid to take the risk.
Speaker 10 (09:10):
That's the second, mister Wearing.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
That's right.
Speaker 10 (09:15):
I'm Eve Lowry. I spoke to you a little while
ago on the telephone.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Oh say you did come on in?
Speaker 10 (09:21):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Sit down?
Speaker 10 (09:24):
Really, I haven't much time, will it take any less?
If you stand well, I guess you're right.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 10 (09:33):
I'm in trouble, mister Wearing.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
What do you call trouble?
Speaker 10 (09:36):
Someone's trying to kill me?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
No, that's a good enough definition.
Speaker 10 (09:39):
He's made several attempts on my life already.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Who's he?
Speaker 10 (09:43):
A man named Caesar Juliano?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Why?
Speaker 10 (09:46):
Why?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Well?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I assume that making attempts in your life is more
than a hobby with mister Giuliana.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Does he have a reason?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Well, you see, my my father and mister Juliana were.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Partners in what business?
Speaker 10 (09:59):
Important?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Go on?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Well, Juliano thought my father swindled him.
Speaker 10 (10:05):
Of course not.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Well, Juliano swore to get even, but dad died before
he could.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So Juliana transferred his affections to you.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yes, well, what would you like me to do about it?
Speaker 10 (10:18):
Well? What would you suggest?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
There are several possibilities. We could make out a complain
to the DA's office.
Speaker 10 (10:24):
Oh no, I don't want to do that. I don't
want any publicity.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I seem And do you know whether Juliano was staying.
Speaker 10 (10:33):
I think it's at the Carlton Hotel.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Why I suppose I go up there and have a
talk with you?
Speaker 10 (10:37):
Oh no, Please, don't do that.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
You don't seem to like any of my ideas. What's
wrong with this one?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Well, I don't see where to accomplish anything. Juliano probably
deny knowing me.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Look, miss Lorry, if we're both going to worry about this,
you're throwing your money away. I suppose you leave mister
Giuliano to me and let me earn my feeding.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
This is end Hurley he again. Friends.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I have a little suggestion for you ladies who wonder
what you're going to do for some interesting menu ideas.
And my suggestion is this, just get a two pound
loaf of crafts smooth melting pasturized processed cheese food velveta.
You can melt velveta for smooth, delicious cheese sauce that'll
add extra goodness to vegetables or seafood or rice or
(11:35):
just plain toast for a fine main dish. And it's
such an easy sauce to make. All you do is
melt a half pound of velveta in the top of
your double boiler. Notice how smooth it melts, without any
lumps at all. Then slowly stir in a quarter of
a cup of milk, season to your taste and there
you have it. A delicious cheese sauce with a wonderful,
(11:56):
rich yet mild cheddar cheese flavor, flavor that everyone, the
youngsters and Grandma included, will enjoy often. And it's a
wholesome dish because Velvita is so rich in important food
values from milk. So whether you melt velveta for a
swell cheese sauce or slice it thick for hearty sandwiches,
(12:17):
you'll find Velvita is a mighty handy helper. Mother, get
a two pound loaf tomorrow, won't you. It's America's favorite
cheese food, the one and only Belvida made by Craft.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Now back to the Adventures of the falcon.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
An hour has passed since Mike Wearing with the work
for e Flowery, who claimed her life was being threatened
by a man named Caesar Giuliano. That's all Mike needed.
Being a man of action, he goes right to the
seat of the trouble.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
Why is it I didn't order anything?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yes, the order blank says just the second alone. You're
no waiter.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Nope, the oldest trick in the world.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Apparently it still works. What's your name, mister Mike Wearing?
You're not the private detective fella. I hear about why not?
Why you play games? I want you to stop annoying
my client, your client? What did he tell you? He?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Well?
Speaker 7 (13:35):
Sure you just who are you working for?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Wearing? Eve Lowery? Eve Lowry? I suppose you'll deny knowing her,
and I suppose I do, But I won't.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Watch, Juliana. What have you got against the girl?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Well, it's a long story, Wearing.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I'd like to show you something, get away from that death, Juliana.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
But I just want to show you this. That's what
I was.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Afraid of, all calm wearing, A big boy like you.
He's not scared of a little gun like this. No,
but I've got a lot of respect for it. I
don't blame you now, if you don't mind, I'd like
to hear more about your client client received Lorry you
mentioned never heard of it? You're going to play it
like that?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Eh? What else can I do? Let go on, Jeliana?
Drop yes, stupid fool? How many times would I tell you?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Let go? Yeah? I'm looking for private teck named Danny Russell.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
What can I do for it? Hey? You hurd Sinda?
Thanks calling your doctor.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
No, don't bother Just so one say you're you wouldn't
have a drink in this place?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Would you? Right in this desk? I'll get your glass?
Oh no, I have a mind.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Hey, hey, hey, go easy, mister. That stuff's been aged
in the wood.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
You mean that desk drawer? Feeling better? Yeah, I have
be a hand. I got it caught in a cash register.
Who are you kidding?
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Never mind?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
You come pretty highly recommended Russell and yeah by whom
man named Caesar Giuliano?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Did you do some work for him?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Get out?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
What's the matter? Get out of here.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
You're a friend at Juliana's.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I take it easy.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I never said I was, and I thought he shot
me up and then beat it. When I came to
I went through some of his papers and found your name.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
What did you hire you for? Let's see you buzza mister.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
I'm not a cop.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
My name is Mike Wearing Wearing the falcon. Well, this
is a pleasure. You know.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
You're almost a legend in town. Yeah, I me and
the giants. What can I do for you? Well, I'd
like a little information. What kind of a job did
you do for Juliana?
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Routine skip tracing wanted me to locate a guy named
Larry Stratton.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Larry Stratton?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Why well, First.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
He told me Stratton skipped out of Mexico, owing him
some dough on a business deal. Then he offered me
one hundred and fifty bucks to beat some information out
of him, just on the level. I don't joke about
things as sacred as money. He had a roll on
him that could choke a horse.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Did Giuliano mention a girl named Eve Lowry?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
No? How's she fitting? I wish I knew. Look, Russell,
I've got a proposition. How about the tour us joining forces?
I'll see you don't suffer by it.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
You just got yourself a boy wearing What do you
want me to do?
Speaker 5 (16:31):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Where I can locate Juliano? You tried the Carleton Hotel?
What do you think I picked up this?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Slow?
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Wait a minute, I got an idea. When Giuliano first
approached me, I met him at a furnished room in Brooklyn.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
What do you say we drive out to Brooklyn? Maybe
worth the trip? I think this is the place doesn't
speak well for Brooklyn. Got a ride on? You don't
(17:05):
believe in them? I do?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I guess nobody's home. Got a gimmick? You're not thinking
of forcing the lock? No, I leave that to you,
and I love Mike. I don't worry. If you get
into trouble, I'll go halfies with you. Okay, how are
you coming?
Speaker 6 (17:26):
I got it now. I don't look like anybody's home.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
No, well, the longest we're here, we might like.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Huh is that what I think it is?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
I'm afraid so someone really poured a lot of letter
into this boy.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
You recognize him? Sure it's Juliana. What are you doing
going through his pockets? By anything? Nothing with a scrap
of paper, Larry Stratton.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
For me, that's the character Giuliano hired me to find.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Now it looks as though he found Juliana asked me. No,
you're not imagining things.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I heard it too.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
It's insight coming from that closet.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
All right, come on, stay away from me.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Well, if it isn't miss Lowry, you know what this
is my client, Eve Lowry?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Let'd you get that gun? Angel?
Speaker 10 (18:28):
Never mind?
Speaker 3 (18:29):
The important thing is that I know how to use it.
Speaker 10 (18:31):
If you try to.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Stop me, all right, Russell, get it? Got it?
Speaker 10 (18:35):
You hit me?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
What did you expect me to do? Applaud while you
gave a demonstration on the use of firearms.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Come on, Eve, in case you hadn't noticed as a
dead body in this room, Come on, Mike, how is it.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I have to break down this door? Just a minute?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Listen, Russell, I want you to take Eve out of
it here. You heard me through the fire escape?
Speaker 6 (19:01):
What about you?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I'll stall them and you drive back to man Happen
to see what you can learn about the Slarry strat No. Quiet,
I know what you're getting into, Mike. I'll take my chances.
When it comes to words, you can bring you down
the local headquarters and we can straighten.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
It all out.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Okay, come on, honey, No, I'll make up your mind.
You go with him? Or do you stay here and
face a murdering? What's going on in there?
Speaker 10 (19:19):
I'll go with him, hurried up?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Same to you.
Speaker 11 (19:24):
Oh what's going on here? Wiseki won choking that door?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I was busy. It was that man named Caesar Giuliano.
Eh are you Mike wearing your gun him? What do
you think I think? Yes, am I wearing. I want
you to try out our local jail. I think you'll
love it. Hey, let me out, Let me out.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
You can't hold me here. But we are, aren't we?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
There must be an answer to that, So when you
think of it, let me know just a minute.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I didn't kill Giuliano. And who did I tell you?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Well, right back where we started, not quite. Giuliano died
around six o'clock, didn't he. How do you know that
I heard the car not talking? Well, I didn't get
to that room to laughter.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Nine. Suppose I told your witness just turned up? Who
says differently than you'd be lying? Okay, Hey, Bruce, show
the party in with you. Eve. You recognize the miss Lorry.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Yes, he's a private detective named Mike Wearing. I hired
him this afternoon to handle a matter for me, which
sees our Juliana. I never dreamt it'd go as far
as he did.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 10 (20:46):
Murder? Mister Waring? You killed Juliano? I what now? Don't
try to deny it. I saw you do it, and
let's see you get around that.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
Get a pint or quart bottle tomorrow at your grocer's
ask for craft salad oil. Now back to the adventures
of the falcon. A couple of hours have passed and
(21:53):
Sea Flowery identified Mike Wearing as the man who killed
Caesar Juliano. Now once again the cell door opened.
Speaker 11 (22:01):
Okay, worry, what do you want now? That's no way
to talk to a guy who's going to give you
your freedom.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
What?
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Yeah, you can go whenever you like. Is this your
idea of a rib? No? No, no, on the level?
I don't get it.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Oh, Mike Russells, Harry, I'm led.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
What happened?
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Your client made a sucker out of me? When I
got round of the car, she hoisted my gun. I
have figured on a doubling back here?
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Did you let it go opposite? Yeah, we had nothing
on her. Who figured you to be the killer?
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Well?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
What convinced you otherwise? Your friend Russell?
Speaker 11 (22:29):
Here, why don't you tell me that at six o'clock
when Giuliana was shot, you and Aymo were having a
couple of beers at a joy.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
It Russell and I remember Mike was right before we
went over to see Harriet and Nora.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Oh, Harriet Nori. Yeah, you didn't involve them. I couldn't
help myself.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Oh, I guess not. But the girls I'm going to
like this? Uh no hard feelings wearing? Uh No, not
at all, officer, And let's go Russell. Tell on, Mike,
so on. I was quick thinking, chim forget it. It was nothing.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
That's no way to talk about my neck, If you'll
pardon the pun, I'm awfully.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Attached to it. What do you intend to do now, Mike?
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Go back to the man happen and find Eve Lorry
any idea where Yeah, there are two parties involved in
this mess, Eve Lorry and Larry Stratton.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Now wouldn't it be strange if they were connected? What
makes you think?
Speaker 9 (23:18):
So?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Just a hunch.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
And when I'm in a spot like this, I play
him because brother, I've got.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
No other choice.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Where's your grip, Larry, it's under the Betty want me
to pack all your suits?
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Well, I don't think you'll have room.
Speaker 8 (23:39):
I'll wear the chalks driving, Larry, make it easy.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Who is it?
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Who is it?
Speaker 10 (23:49):
Mister Wearing?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Well, that hunch was right, Mike, what hunch? I had
an idea? You two went together like ham an egg.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
Listen Wearing. I don't know what you want. But if
you think Eve killed Juliano, you're out of your mind.
She didn't even know the man.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
And why did she come to me with that cock
and bolster?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
She was trying to protect me.
Speaker 8 (24:06):
Guess what, look, I'm head cashier in a Washington bank.
Juliano has been after me to turn over to him
the dates of large currency movements?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
What was it like mail?
Speaker 5 (24:17):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Now, don't give me that. Otherwise you would have gone
to the police. What do you have on you?
Speaker 10 (24:21):
Don't tell him?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Larry?
Speaker 5 (24:22):
What can I lose? Now?
Speaker 8 (24:23):
Eve Giuliano found out that ten years ago I served
a term for manslaughter. I was drunk one night and
I killed a man with my car. I served two
years under another name, and.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
At the bank I ever learned about you being an
next con, you'd be minus a career, That's right?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Is that why she killed Julian? I tell you she didn't?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Then?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Who did I?
Speaker 10 (24:40):
Did you mustn't believe in mister Warren. He's trying to
protect me. I killed Julian. Why it's no use, Larry.
They're bound to find out sooner.
Speaker 11 (24:47):
She couldn't have done it because I did.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
What do you think, Russell? Since one of them is lying?
But which one she is? Wait? Wait, wait, wait just
a minute.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
As far as Juliana was concerned as no great loss,
he was a crook. But there's no reason why this
has to go any further than this room.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
What do you mean, Russell?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
And I have found the leading regularly, So for five
grand we walk out of here.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Forget we have any of you? That's okay with you, Denny,
I don't like it. Come on, give him a break.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
And two and a half grand apiece isn't to be
sneezed at.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
There's only one trouble with that, wearing trouble.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
I haven't got five thousand.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
How about you?
Speaker 10 (25:27):
We've I gave you my last fifty dollars.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Well, how much can you dig up? Not more than
a couple of hundred. Well that puts a different complexion
on things. What do you think, Russell? I say we
turn them over to the cops. Well that's to be expected.
Every killer likes a fall guy hand him.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
What are you getting here?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Just what it sounded like, Russell? Didn't anyone ever tell
you you can't get away with murder? Really, mister worry
I don't know how to thank you.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Enough, or maybe you'll let me give the little bride away.
Speaker 10 (26:06):
You're not angry at me for involving.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
You, Nah, I have probably eve you're a woman in
love and they're not very rational.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Preacher.
Speaker 8 (26:12):
Well tell me, mister worrying, how did you figure out
it was Danny Russell or killed Juliana?
Speaker 1 (26:16):
All were several things, Larry, And first of all, Russell
told me that Guliano had a roll on him big
enough to choke a horse. And when I went through
Giuliano's pocket, so all I found was a scrap of paper.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
With your name on it. So what happened to the money?
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Well, obviously it was stolen, right, So that opened up
a new field. Suppose this was a plane every day
murder for money, but.
Speaker 10 (26:34):
Larry or I might have taken it?
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Not very likely, Angel.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
That's why I offered to accept the bribe. I figured
that if you too were willing to risk the chair
for each other, a little thing like five thousand dollars wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Stop you if you had it.
Speaker 8 (26:47):
And when you heard the best we could scared it
was a couple of hundred huh.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Then I knew I had to look elsewhere.
Speaker 10 (26:51):
What made you think of Russell?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Oh, he got me.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Out of jail by inventing an alibi for me, something
about a double date with a couple of girls named
Harriet Nora.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Well, I don't understand. Well.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
You see, by giving me an alibi, he also gave
himself one at the same time, and he really needed it. Now,
the truth of the matter is, at six o'clock when
Juliana was shot, I was still out cold in this
apartment after you plugged me.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
No wonder Russell made it so easy for me to
escape from him.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
M hmm.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
But you know what gets me, angel is what you
were doing in the closet where we found you.
Speaker 10 (27:20):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Well, I drove out to see Juliana, hoping that if
I'd pleaded with him, he wouldn't bother Larry anymore.
Speaker 10 (27:26):
When I got there, he was dead.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Then when I heard you outside, I got panicky and down.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
At the headquarters. When you accused me of the murder.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Well, that was for the same reason I wanted to
protect Larry.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Sure I should have known, ogn I, Larry, take care
of yourself. Oh wait, wait a minute, mister Waring, Why
rush you holl This is all okay for you, love birds.
But I've had a lot of.
Speaker 10 (27:49):
Work to do at this time of night.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I've got a date with one of the most luscious
redheads in New York. You call that work, and you've
got to explain why you're twenty four hours late.
Speaker 2 (27:58):

Try it yourself.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
See why it's America's favorite salad dressing, the One and
only Miracle Whip and now the case of the Careless Clients.
(01:50):
It's early afternoon in New York and a short, dumpy
little man with lacquid hair walks down the second four
carridor in the Gordon Building until he comes to a
door marked Daniel Russell Private Investigation. Obviously our unknown friend
has been here before or without any hesitation, he eases
himself into mister Russell's office, and ease is the proper
word for mister Russell, with his back to the door
(02:12):
and his ear glued tightly to the phone, doesn't even
hear him.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Oh look, Harris, you got to give me a break.
You know I'm good for the money.

Lessen Danny, Why don't you do both of us a
flavor and stay.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Away from the horses. Okay, Harris, you don't want to
take my bets.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I'll find a booky who will yeah, nay one.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Oh, I beg your pardon.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Harris, A client just walked in. I'd called you back later.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
I'm sorry you ain't to rub mister Russell.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
There's nothing important, mister Giuliano, just one of my men
checking in.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
I see, sit down, want you in? You'll have something
for me?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Yes, indeed, I located your boy Larry Stratton. Yep, Stratton's
in New York, all right, gotty last week from Washington.
First thing he did was to get himself a room
under the name of Leonard Simon's funny how they always
keep the same initials. And where does my friend mister
Stratton leave fourteen twenty three Carol plays it's a small
(03:20):
rooming house. I pumped the superintendent, but he couldn't tell
me much. And incidentally, that little talk costs me an
extra fifty I.
Speaker 7 (03:29):
Got no complaints, mister Russell. You're do fine. Fifty dollars
you say.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Hey, that's quite a ward you're carrying. Juliana might Speedilea's
fifteen or twenty grand there so, so you want to
be careful.
Speaker 7 (03:45):
I am how much you do? I owe you altogether
one hundred and fifty bucks. You like to double it.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I like nothing better. It's easy.
Speaker 7 (03:54):
I need some information from this mister Stratton.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
You've got it for me.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
Oh oh, now come on, Russell, you must have some idea.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
All you've got to do is work on him a
little bit, work on him.
Speaker 7 (04:09):
Yeah, you look like a boy who knows car who
used his fists.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Get out, you make a big mistake. Go on, Juliana
baid it.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
Okay, no, RMS done. Just suppose we forget this little talk.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
No, I'll think about it.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
You do that, Russell, you find it a lot healthier
than talking. I'll be seeing you fello.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Hello, Hello, Larry Stretton.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Well no, you've you've got the wrong number, Alex Stratton.
Speaker 2 (04:52):

My name is Russell, Danny Russell, a detective.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Up till a half hour ago, I was working for
a man named says that Giuliano.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Giuliano.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
That's right, he's probably on his way over to saying it.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
I don't believe you.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Look, don't be a samp.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I told him where you were, even offered me an
extra one hundred and fifty to take care of you
and know the smart thing for you to do is
to beat it.
Speaker 8 (05:17):
What kind of a fool you take me for? Don't
you think I know a trap when I see one?
Speaker 5 (05:21):
Why should I do? I know you're not working with Juliana.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I can tell you. Hang up. Hello, that's fine, Larry
Shully Dark Causlow?
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Oh sure, now listen, Julian.
Speaker 7 (05:38):

Speaker 2 (06:11):
What do you want me to do, mister Giuliano?
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Get him out of here? Oh?
Speaker 2 (06:17):

Well, if you go down to the corneals. No, never mind,
I'll get him myself. Please, sure, I'll be back.
Speaker 10 (07:03):
Oh, Larry, Darling, what happened?
Speaker 5 (07:09):
Never mind?
Speaker 10 (07:09):
Eve, we're getting a doctor.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
I don't want one? What I said? I don't want one?
Speaker 10 (07:14):
Larry?
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Shut the door now, I lock it now.
Speaker 10 (07:21):
Listen to me, Eve, candid way, No, No, in.
Speaker 8 (07:23):
In that that medicine chest over the basin. There's a
there's a roll of adhesive table to get it for me?
Speaker 10 (07:28):
Yes, is this what you want?
Speaker 5 (07:34):
No? There's there should be a roll of half inch tape.
Speaker 10 (07:38):
There's none here?
Speaker 5 (07:41):
Are you sure? Oh?
Speaker 10 (07:43):
No, I've got it?
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Or bring it here? Take off the cover. I don't
open up the role.
Speaker 9 (07:53):
What where?
Speaker 10 (07:55):
There are numbers written on this?
Speaker 5 (07:56):
And I didn't tell him?
Speaker 10 (07:58):
You didn't tell him more.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
I was afraid they beat it out of me, But they.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Didn't, Darling.
Speaker 10 (08:02):
What is this all about?
Speaker 5 (08:03):
They don't ask me any questions.
Speaker 10 (08:04):
Ane, someone tried to kill you.
Speaker 8 (08:06):
You don't have to worry. Giuliana wouldn't dare w Well,
he hasn't got this.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Juliana sees that.
Speaker 10 (08:10):
Juliana, who is he? Larry? What does he wanted.
Speaker 5 (08:12):
Please please don't ask me.
Speaker 8 (08:13):
Don't ask me. I shouldn't have even told you that
I'm in trouble, Eve, I'm in real trouble.
Speaker 10 (08:19):
Why didn't you go to the police?
Speaker 5 (08:21):
I can't, But why not? I can't tell you?
Speaker 10 (08:24):
Well, then hire a private detective?
Speaker 5 (08:28):
What good would that do, Darling?
Speaker 10 (08:29):
Obviously you need protection.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
I can take care of myself.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Larry, you've got to He wouldn't have to be told anything.
I could make up some sort of story.
Speaker 10 (08:39):
There's a man named Mike Wearing.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
I've heard about him, the one they call a folk.
Speaker 10 (08:43):
Yes, he's supposed to be very competent.
Speaker 5 (08:45):
And not being fair to me. If this Wearing doesn't
know what he's up against, he's liable to get himself.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Killed, Darling, believe me, it's the only way. I'm sure
nothing will happen to mister Wearing. And if he does well, well,
he's paid to take the risk.
Speaker 10 (09:10):
That's the second, mister Wearing.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
That's right.
Speaker 10 (09:15):
I'm Eve Lowry. I spoke to you a little while
ago on the telephone.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Oh say you did come on in?
Speaker 10 (09:21):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Sit down?
Speaker 10 (09:24):
Really, I haven't much time, will it take any less?
If you stand well, I guess you're right.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 10 (09:33):
I'm in trouble, mister Wearing.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
What do you call trouble?
Speaker 10 (09:36):
Someone's trying to kill me?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
No, that's a good enough definition.
Speaker 10 (09:39):
He's made several attempts on my life already.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Who's he?
Speaker 10 (09:43):
A man named Caesar Juliano?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Why?
Speaker 10 (09:46):
Why?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Well?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
I assume that making attempts in your life is more
than a hobby with mister Giuliana.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Does he have a reason?
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Well, you see, my my father and mister Juliana were.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Partners in what business?
Speaker 10 (09:59):
Important?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Go on?
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Well, Juliano thought my father swindled him.
Speaker 10 (10:05):
Of course not.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Well, Juliano swore to get even, but dad died before
he could.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
So Juliana transferred his affections to you.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yes, well, what would you like me to do about it?
Speaker 10 (10:18):
Well? What would you suggest?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
There are several possibilities. We could make out a complain
to the DA's office.
Speaker 10 (10:24):
Oh no, I don't want to do that. I don't
want any publicity.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I seem And do you know whether Juliano was staying.
Speaker 10 (10:33):
I think it's at the Carlton Hotel.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Why I suppose I go up there and have a
talk with you?
Speaker 10 (10:37):
Oh no, Please, don't do that.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
You don't seem to like any of my ideas. What's
wrong with this one?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Well, I don't see where to accomplish anything. Juliano probably
deny knowing me.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Look, miss Lorry, if we're both going to worry about this,
you're throwing your money away. I suppose you leave mister
Giuliano to me and let me earn my feeding.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
This is end Hurley he again. Friends.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
I have a little suggestion for you ladies who wonder
what you're going to do for some interesting menu ideas.
And my suggestion is this, just get a two pound
loaf of crafts smooth melting pasturized processed cheese food velveta.
You can melt velveta for smooth, delicious cheese sauce that'll
add extra goodness to vegetables or seafood or rice or
(11:35):
just plain toast for a fine main dish. And it's
such an easy sauce to make. All you do is
melt a half pound of velveta in the top of
your double boiler. Notice how smooth it melts, without any
lumps at all. Then slowly stir in a quarter of
a cup of milk, season to your taste and there
you have it. A delicious cheese sauce with a wonderful,
(11:56):
rich yet mild cheddar cheese flavor, flavor that everyone, the
youngsters and Grandma included, will enjoy often. And it's a
wholesome dish because Velvita is so rich in important food
values from milk. So whether you melt velveta for a
swell cheese sauce or slice it thick for hearty sandwiches,
(12:17):
you'll find Velvita is a mighty handy helper. Mother, get

cheese food, the one and only Belvida made by Craft.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Now back to the Adventures of the falcon.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
An hour has passed since Mike Wearing with the work
for e Flowery, who claimed her life was being threatened
by a man named Caesar Giuliano. That's all Mike needed.
Being a man of action, he goes right to the
seat of the trouble.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
Why is it I didn't order anything?
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yes, the order blank says just the second alone. You're
no waiter.
Speaker 6 (13:13):
Nope, the oldest trick in the world.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Apparently it still works. What's your name, mister Mike Wearing?
You're not the private detective fella. I hear about why not?
Why you play games? I want you to stop annoying
my client, your client? What did he tell you? He?
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Well?
Speaker 7 (13:35):
Sure you just who are you working for?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Wearing? Eve Lowery? Eve Lowry? I suppose you'll deny knowing her,
and I suppose I do, But I won't.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Watch, Juliana. What have you got against the girl?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Well, it's a long story, Wearing.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I'd like to show you something, get away from that death, Juliana.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
But I just want to show you this. That's what
I was.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Afraid of, all calm wearing, A big boy like you.
He's not scared of a little gun like this. No,
but I've got a lot of respect for it. I
don't blame you now, if you don't mind, I'd like
to hear more about your client client received Lorry you
mentioned never heard of it? You're going to play it
like that?
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Eh? What else can I do? Let go on, Jeliana?
Drop yes, stupid fool? How many times would I tell you?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Let go? Yeah? I'm looking for private teck named Danny Russell.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
What can I do for it? Hey? You hurd Sinda?
Thanks calling your doctor.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
No, don't bother Just so one say you're you wouldn't
have a drink in this place?
Speaker 2 (14:56):
Would you? Right in this desk? I'll get your glass?
Oh no, I have a mind.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Hey, hey, hey, go easy, mister. That stuff's been aged
in the wood.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
You mean that desk drawer? Feeling better? Yeah, I have
be a hand. I got it caught in a cash register.
Who are you kidding?
Speaker 5 (15:13):
Never mind?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
You come pretty highly recommended Russell and yeah by whom
man named Caesar Giuliano?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Did you do some work for him?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Get out?
Speaker 2 (15:24):
What's the matter? Get out of here.
Speaker 4 (15:26):
You're a friend at Juliana's.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I take it easy.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I never said I was, and I thought he shot
me up and then beat it. When I came to
I went through some of his papers and found your name.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
What did you hire you for? Let's see you buzza mister.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
I'm not a cop.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
My name is Mike Wearing Wearing the falcon. Well, this
is a pleasure. You know.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
You're almost a legend in town. Yeah, I me and
the giants. What can I do for you? Well, I'd
like a little information. What kind of a job did
you do for Juliana?
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Routine skip tracing wanted me to locate a guy named
Larry Stratton.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
Larry Stratton?
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Why well, First.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
He told me Stratton skipped out of Mexico, owing him
some dough on a business deal. Then he offered me
one hundred and fifty bucks to beat some information out
of him, just on the level. I don't joke about
things as sacred as money. He had a roll on
him that could choke a horse.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Did Giuliano mention a girl named Eve Lowry?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
No? How's she fitting? I wish I knew. Look, Russell,
I've got a proposition. How about the tour us joining forces?
I'll see you don't suffer by it.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
You just got yourself a boy wearing What do you
want me to do?
Speaker 5 (16:31):
No?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Where I can locate Juliano? You tried the Carleton Hotel?
What do you think I picked up this?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Slow?
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Wait a minute, I got an idea. When Giuliano first
approached me, I met him at a furnished room in Brooklyn.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
What do you say we drive out to Brooklyn? Maybe
worth the trip? I think this is the place doesn't
speak well for Brooklyn. Got a ride on? You don't
(17:05):
believe in them? I do?
Speaker 1 (17:10):
I guess nobody's home. Got a gimmick? You're not thinking
of forcing the lock? No, I leave that to you,
and I love Mike. I don't worry. If you get
into trouble, I'll go halfies with you. Okay, how are
you coming?
Speaker 6 (17:26):
I got it now. I don't look like anybody's home.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
No, well, the longest we're here, we might like.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Huh is that what I think it is?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
I'm afraid so someone really poured a lot of letter
into this boy.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
You recognize him? Sure it's Juliana. What are you doing
going through his pockets? By anything? Nothing with a scrap
of paper, Larry Stratton.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
For me, that's the character Giuliano hired me to find.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Now it looks as though he found Juliana asked me. No,
you're not imagining things.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I heard it too.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
It's insight coming from that closet.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
All right, come on, stay away from me.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Well, if it isn't miss Lowry, you know what this
is my client, Eve Lowry?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Let'd you get that gun? Angel?
Speaker 10 (18:28):
Never mind?
Speaker 3 (18:29):
The important thing is that I know how to use it.
Speaker 10 (18:31):
If you try to.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Stop me, all right, Russell, get it? Got it?
Speaker 10 (18:35):
You hit me?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
What did you expect me to do? Applaud while you
gave a demonstration on the use of firearms.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Come on, Eve, in case you hadn't noticed as a
dead body in this room, Come on, Mike, how is it.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I have to break down this door? Just a minute?
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Listen, Russell, I want you to take Eve out of
it here. You heard me through the fire escape?
Speaker 6 (19:01):
What about you?
Speaker 1 (19:02):
I'll stall them and you drive back to man Happen
to see what you can learn about the Slarry strat No. Quiet,
I know what you're getting into, Mike. I'll take my chances.
When it comes to words, you can bring you down
the local headquarters and we can straighten.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
It all out.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Okay, come on, honey, No, I'll make up your mind.
You go with him? Or do you stay here and
face a murdering? What's going on in there?
Speaker 10 (19:19):
I'll go with him, hurried up?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Same to you.
Speaker 11 (19:24):
Oh what's going on here? Wiseki won choking that door?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
I was busy. It was that man named Caesar Giuliano.
Eh are you Mike wearing your gun him? What do
you think I think? Yes, am I wearing. I want
you to try out our local jail. I think you'll
love it. Hey, let me out, Let me out.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
You can't hold me here. But we are, aren't we?
Speaker 1 (20:01):
There must be an answer to that, So when you
think of it, let me know just a minute.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I didn't kill Giuliano. And who did I tell you?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Well, right back where we started, not quite. Giuliano died
around six o'clock, didn't he. How do you know that
I heard the car not talking? Well, I didn't get
to that room to laughter.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Nine. Suppose I told your witness just turned up? Who
says differently than you'd be lying? Okay, Hey, Bruce, show
the party in with you. Eve. You recognize the miss Lorry.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Yes, he's a private detective named Mike Wearing. I hired
him this afternoon to handle a matter for me, which
sees our Juliana. I never dreamt it'd go as far
as he did.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 10 (20:46):
Murder? Mister Waring? You killed Juliano? I what now? Don't
try to deny it. I saw you do it, and
let's see you get around that.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Remember tomorrow at your grocers you can get a wonderful
new salad oil for your homemade salad dressings.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
You're cooking, you're baking.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
It's Craft salad Oil the first salad oil for home
use ever offered by the makers of all those wonderful
craft dressings. Craft salad oil is a lighter bodied oil,
super fine.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
To blend perfectly with other ingredients.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Get a pint or quart bottle tomorrow at your grocer's
ask for craft salad oil. Now back to the adventures
of the falcon. A couple of hours have passed and
(21:53):
Sea Flowery identified Mike Wearing as the man who killed
Caesar Juliano. Now once again the cell door opened.
Speaker 11 (22:01):
Okay, worry, what do you want now? That's no way
to talk to a guy who's going to give you
your freedom.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
What?
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Yeah, you can go whenever you like. Is this your
idea of a rib? No? No, no, on the level?
I don't get it.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Oh, Mike Russells, Harry, I'm led.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
What happened?
Speaker 4 (22:17):
Your client made a sucker out of me? When I
got round of the car, she hoisted my gun. I
have figured on a doubling back here?
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Did you let it go opposite? Yeah, we had nothing
on her. Who figured you to be the killer?
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Well?
Speaker 2 (22:26):
What convinced you otherwise? Your friend Russell?
Speaker 11 (22:29):
Here, why don't you tell me that at six o'clock
when Giuliana was shot, you and Aymo were having a
couple of beers at a joy.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
It Russell and I remember Mike was right before we
went over to see Harriet and Nora.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Oh, Harriet Nori. Yeah, you didn't involve them. I couldn't
help myself.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Oh, I guess not. But the girls I'm going to
like this? Uh no hard feelings wearing? Uh No, not
at all, officer, And let's go Russell. Tell on, Mike,
so on. I was quick thinking, chim forget it. It was nothing.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
That's no way to talk about my neck, If you'll
pardon the pun, I'm awfully.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Attached to it. What do you intend to do now, Mike?
Speaker 1 (23:08):
Go back to the man happen and find Eve Lorry
any idea where Yeah, there are two parties involved in
this mess, Eve Lorry and Larry Stratton.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Now wouldn't it be strange if they were connected? What
makes you think?
Speaker 9 (23:18):
So?
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Just a hunch.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
And when I'm in a spot like this, I play
him because brother, I've got.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
No other choice.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Where's your grip, Larry, it's under the Betty want me
to pack all your suits?
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Well, I don't think you'll have room.
Speaker 8 (23:39):
I'll wear the chalks driving, Larry, make it easy.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Who is it?
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Who is it?
Speaker 10 (23:49):
Mister Wearing?
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Well, that hunch was right, Mike, what hunch? I had
an idea? You two went together like ham an egg.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
Listen Wearing. I don't know what you want. But if
you think Eve killed Juliano, you're out of your mind.
She didn't even know the man.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
And why did she come to me with that cock
and bolster?
Speaker 5 (24:05):
She was trying to protect me.
Speaker 8 (24:06):
Guess what, look, I'm head cashier in a Washington bank.
Juliano has been after me to turn over to him
the dates of large currency movements?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
What was it like mail?
Speaker 5 (24:17):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Now, don't give me that. Otherwise you would have gone
to the police. What do you have on you?
Speaker 10 (24:21):
Don't tell him?
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Larry?
Speaker 5 (24:22):
What can I lose? Now?
Speaker 8 (24:23):
Eve Giuliano found out that ten years ago I served
a term for manslaughter. I was drunk one night and
I killed a man with my car. I served two
years under another name, and.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
At the bank I ever learned about you being an
next con, you'd be minus a career, That's right?
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Is that why she killed Julian? I tell you she didn't?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Then?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Who did I?
Speaker 10 (24:40):
Did you mustn't believe in mister Warren. He's trying to
protect me. I killed Julian. Why it's no use, Larry.
They're bound to find out sooner.
Speaker 11 (24:47):
She couldn't have done it because I did.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
What do you think, Russell? Since one of them is lying?
But which one she is? Wait? Wait, wait, wait just
a minute.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
As far as Juliana was concerned as no great loss,
he was a crook. But there's no reason why this
has to go any further than this room.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
What do you mean, Russell?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
And I have found the leading regularly, So for five
grand we walk out of here.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Forget we have any of you? That's okay with you, Denny,
I don't like it. Come on, give him a break.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
And two and a half grand apiece isn't to be
sneezed at.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
There's only one trouble with that, wearing trouble.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
I haven't got five thousand.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
How about you?
Speaker 10 (25:27):
We've I gave you my last fifty dollars.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Well, how much can you dig up? Not more than
a couple of hundred. Well that puts a different complexion
on things. What do you think, Russell? I say we
turn them over to the cops. Well that's to be expected.
Every killer likes a fall guy hand him.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
What are you getting here?
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Just what it sounded like, Russell? Didn't anyone ever tell
you you can't get away with murder? Really, mister worry
I don't know how to thank you.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Enough, or maybe you'll let me give the little bride away.
Speaker 10 (26:06):
You're not angry at me for involving.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
You, Nah, I have probably eve you're a woman in
love and they're not very rational.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Preacher.
Speaker 8 (26:12):
Well tell me, mister worrying, how did you figure out
it was Danny Russell or killed Juliana?
Speaker 1 (26:16):
All were several things, Larry, And first of all, Russell
told me that Guliano had a roll on him big
enough to choke a horse. And when I went through
Giuliano's pocket, so all I found was a scrap of paper.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
With your name on it. So what happened to the money?
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Well, obviously it was stolen, right, So that opened up
a new field. Suppose this was a plane every day
murder for money, but.
Speaker 10 (26:34):
Larry or I might have taken it?
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Not very likely, Angel.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
That's why I offered to accept the bribe. I figured
that if you too were willing to risk the chair
for each other, a little thing like five thousand dollars wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Stop you if you had it.
Speaker 8 (26:47):
And when you heard the best we could scared it
was a couple of hundred huh.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Then I knew I had to look elsewhere.
Speaker 10 (26:51):
What made you think of Russell?
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Oh, he got me.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Out of jail by inventing an alibi for me, something
about a double date with a couple of girls named
Harriet Nora.
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Well, I don't understand. Well.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
You see, by giving me an alibi, he also gave
himself one at the same time, and he really needed it. Now,
the truth of the matter is, at six o'clock when
Juliana was shot, I was still out cold in this
apartment after you plugged me.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
No wonder Russell made it so easy for me to
escape from him.
Speaker 5 (27:15):
M hmm.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
But you know what gets me, angel is what you
were doing in the closet where we found you.
Speaker 10 (27:20):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Well, I drove out to see Juliana, hoping that if
I'd pleaded with him, he wouldn't bother Larry anymore.
Speaker 10 (27:26):
When I got there, he was dead.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Then when I heard you outside, I got panicky and down.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
At the headquarters. When you accused me of the murder.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Well, that was for the same reason I wanted to
protect Larry.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Sure I should have known, ogn I, Larry, take care
of yourself. Oh wait, wait a minute, mister Waring, Why
rush you holl This is all okay for you, love birds.
But I've had a lot of.
Speaker 10 (27:49):
Work to do at this time of night.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I've got a date with one of the most luscious
redheads in New York. You call that work, and you've
got to explain why you're twenty four hours late.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
